So I accidently picked up a pack of Tiemco dry fly hooks (TMC 100BL) size 18 instead of the TMC 3761 which I usually tie on, when I went back to the store they were out of the TMC 3761 size 18's.? My question is:? Has anyone ever tied nymphs on dry fly hooks?? I imagine the only down size is that they are lighter...
Today's flow was a tad higher than the previous 4 Sunday midday trips at my spot. Wading wasn't a problem but today I only witnessed a baitchunker catch one small planter and that was it. Not alot of fly fishermen. I didn't spy any fish in the water, only one maybe breaking the surface, and of course a skun...
I just got back from the creek today.? Got 15 landed 10.? All of the fish were 10-13 inchers.? All where on an olive wolly bugger.? Meet WytEurp today. Fishing seemed to get tuffer in the afternoon but between 9-12 it was real good.
Fished a few different area's of the creek today with not much luck, 3 hooked 1 landed, Lilwhippersnapper hooked like 8 fish I think. All my fish took #20 zebra midges. Used mostly a fox poopah and zebra midge rig. Theres plenty of fish there, Saw plenty of fish rising. Not sure what they were taking, I di...
The flow at the creek is super low and some good runs are now exposed. Do the the flows stay this low all winter or do they let more water out? How can i find out when/if they are letting water out?
? Hit the creek at about 10am, weather was pretty nice, lots of bug activity in the air. I found some risers, but it took me about 6 or so patterns to match what they were taking. It's hard to tell sometimes when there are 3 or 4 different mayflys hatching along with caddis and midges. Once I started using a l...
Another blatant newbie question.... Got any tips for removing barbs? I'm not tying my own yet!? Actually looking forward to it, just no time yet. Trying to get ready for the 17th.? I've been told you don't even want to have a single barded hook in your vest if a warden stops you in the "off season&qu...
Hey everyone. I just started to get into fly fishing. I have gone 3 times now, and I am starting to get a hang of casting and such by watching others. Luckily, my parents bought a membership at Canyon Creek, so we have been going there alot lately. I love it! Anyways, here is my questions. When do I use a indi...
Hi Gang, I was out back on Monday,? added another great "the one that got away" story to my arsenal. BUT, what I want to ask about is a different subject.? I foul hooked my second fish since starting to fish the creek in August. I got him above the mid line, on the side, just behind the dorsal fin....
My dad and i float tubed section 1 of the creek last friday, and cought tons of fish. I landed bout 25 in 7 hrs, 1 was 19in and a fat bastard. I have fished here many times over the past few years, and have cought many trout, but none have been browns. I have heard of them being in there, and i have seen pictures o...
I snuck out of lab early again today.? I made it up to the creek about 4PM and fished for a little over an hour.? The fish were doing a lot of feeding in the upper half of the water column which made it easy to get to the fish.? I landed quite a few fish and hooked into many more.? The biggest to net was 15", b...
I noticed that the link to the Putah Creek flows indicates that the data is no longer available. Did they stop capturing that data or is it a short term issue ?
I'm heading up to the north fork stanislaus river with lilwhippersnapper this weekend. Anyone ever fish up there around the town of dorrington, Sougrass crossing, or boards crossing ? I know the south and middle forks well, but this will be my first time fishing the north fork. This will most likely b...
Does anyone here fish egg imitations during the spawn? I've never fished an egg before, do you fish it like you would a nymph with an indicator? And about what size and color are the eggs? Thanks for the info in advance.
Hit the creek at Noon and fished till dark......a few bait fishermen, but not too bad as far as being over-crowded for a nice Friday afternoon. I tried my usual favorite patterns for this time of year and the fish seemed keyed in on my #24 RS2 with no weight attached.? When I tie up these small RS2's, I like...
Made another trip to the Trinity on Friday.? Arrived there at first light.? It was misting--almost a rain--but perfect steelhead weather.? I fished a run that had a couple of riffles and nice pool and fished on through.? I was surprised with no hookups.?I fished there for about 30 minutes and tried fu...
Well, I'm another new guy in all senses of the word (to the sport, to the creek, to the forum) but i'm hooked already and made it up to the creek from SF for the 4th time today. I've been reading along for a few weeks now and figured it was time to say hello to the group since i feel like I've already learned a lot...
I fished the creek yesterday with jcombs.? The fishing was pretty tough with the low flows.? There were fishermen everywhere!? We were able to find some fishable water away from the crowds, though.? We landed a few fish but nothing very big.? Fish seemed to like Fox Poopahs and Copper Johns.??I wish I...
Headed out to the Creek tomorrow for the first time in over a year. Anyone planning on being on the water tomorrow. I would love to pick some of your guys brains while on the water. PR
I got out to the creek this afternoon for the first time in many, many months. I'm 14 weeks post hip replacement surgery and finally felt it was OK to walk on uneven and underwater surfaces. For the last several months I've been "fishing" vicariously by reading all the posts. I picked up some...
Hello board, I live in Benicia and have fished Putah for eight years. Ive followed the board for quite a while and found it to be informational and entertaining. I know Greg and Matt and have probably met some of you on the creek.? I'll be there on the?17th and look forward to meeting you regulars.???? Ja...
I was just wondering who felt the quake.... I live about 2 miles from the epicenter, so I felt it big time. I thought my house was coming down. This is the first big quake that I've felt...?I don't remember 89's quake since I was only 3 when it happened.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rick, I've been fly fishing for many years, but have never been to Putah Creek. I usually head to one of the Stanislaus or Tuolumne Forks, however, I'm interested in trying something new. I've been reading here and there on this forum for a wh...
Hello everyone--shameful of me to have read and learned so much from you all without ever thanking or taking part.? I have yet to fish Putah, yet one day... Time often limits my trips closer to home and the Sierra Nevada.? I appreciate the way this board openly shares information (without giving away h...
Finally got one. my first trout on a fly. I snuck out the house spent almost 4 hours trying to get some trout in one little old hole near the bridge. Actually I was casting around almost 360 degrees but that one hole kept my attention. I saw a bunch of medium sized rainbows in feeding mode and I could not get t...
well no dunks in the water today. no lost fly boxes. it was just me and my old boss out there today. taught him the ropes and told him have fun. fish jumpin and surfacing everywhere. couldnt really pin-point what they was eating. had my boss on a wooly bugger for a lil while. i have a parachute adams size 16 o...
Yes, the spelling error was intentional, as I was referring to folks fishing with bait, not actual insects.? Concord Bob and I met up Friday morning, as we do every couple of weeks, and decided to fish the bridge area for a change.? With the low flows, I switched to using a caddis dry as an indicator with a...
